At a factory, each worker is remunerated according to a salary grade G that is at least 1 and at most 7. Each worker receives a monthly wage W, in dollars, determined by the formula W = 1140 + 45(G − 1). How many more dollars per month a worker with a salary grade-7 receives than a worker with a salary grade of 1?

(A) $135 (B)$270
(C) $405 (D)$540
(E) $600 _________________ Director Joined: 19 Oct 2013 Posts: 509 Location: Kuwait GPA: 3.2 WE: Engineering (Real Estate) At a factory, each worker is remunerated according to a salary grade G [#permalink] ### Show Tags 27 Sep 2018, 05:58 1,140 + 45 (7-1) = 1,140 + 270 = 1,410 that is for grade 7 For grade 1 = 1,140 + 45 (1-1) = 1,140 1,410 - 1,140 = 270 answer choice B A quicker way to notice this is that 1,140 is fixed for both so it doesn’t matter and that 45 will be zero for grade 1 So the difference will be 45 (7-1) = 270 Posted from my mobile device Board of Directors Status: QA & VA Forum Moderator Joined: 11 Jun 2011 Posts: 4280 Location: India GPA: 3.5 WE: Business Development (Commercial Banking) Re: At a factory, each worker is remunerated according to a salary grade G [#permalink] ### Show Tags 27 Sep 2018, 06:12 Bunuel wrote: At a factory, each worker is remunerated according to a salary grade G that is at least 1 and at most 7.

(B) $270 (C)$405
(D) $540 (E)$600

Difference is $${1140 + 45(7 − 1)} - {1140 + 45(1 − 1)}$$

Or, Difference is $$(1140 + 45*6 - 1140 + 45*0)$$

Or, Difference is $$45*6= 270$$, Answer must be (B)
